No way the Magic trade Dwight to the Bulls without asking for Noah..Boozer is a pretty good rebounder, but his defense sucks..Noah plays great defense and is a great rebounder, and so is Dwight..So why would you trade your best defender/rebounder to a team with a great rebounder/defender w/o asking for him to be included in a trade? I can see the Magic pulling the trigger on a Boozer/Noah/Deng for Dwight/Turkoglu or J.Rich deal

Very True, Chicago would seem like a great destination for D12, I honestly think they would be
, Kind of surprised they weren't on the list though. If the Magic want Melo instead, then by all means take him for D12. Honestly, I just want Chris Paul and D12, they would be insane to have together. Chris Paul would average 14 assits a games, and D Howard would average 28-30 ppg.
If we do not land D12, then we must sign/trade for CP3. We need a PG to run this team because Melo and Stat just do not mesh well together.

Even though the Bulls probably could set up the best offer if they were serious I'm not sure ORL would want to make the East that much better. Might just settle for the LA offer.
Not sure at all what Dwight could force to happen. He says he doesn't want to sign to a trade destination he could walk but where to? Of the teams on that list the Nets might have the money to sign him to a max contract.
Yall dudes ready to trade Melo or STAT are bugging if you'd think Donnie would be quick to do that. He's building around them. Stop with that if the deal is right pull the trigger. The deal will never be right for the Knicks

Why is everyone so hell bent on getting a big 3 in NY..... If you bring in CP3 you still leave NY with no legit center, No real sparks off the bench, and no draft picks to improve = a constant ECF exit.
To Bring in Dwight you then have 3 guys who need to score and none of them have ever been known as playmakers.... IMO that would also be a bad move.
What NY needs is some goddamn depth

I know we've all been talking about ORL getting done dirty AGAIN (and CP got some ppl thinking the LA trade is definitely going down) by Dwight just walking but the way I see it like the DEN situation you already lost cuz nothing you get in return will even measure up to his value.
So the resentment will probably just grow. I'm sure the ppl of ORL are still salty when Shaq is brought up but if they decide to let Dwight walk just blow up the team and start from scratch. Trying to rebuild with LO/Bynum, STAT+filler, Noah/Boozer/Deng when you probably still gonna have Gil and Hedo is NOT a good look. Outside of trying to flip those new acquisitions again for younger players and picks letting him walk may not be that bad. At least the threat of it could force him to agree to wherever they want to trade him to.
As a Knick fan I can only hope a hard cap is pushed to 85 mil
EDIT
Dwight-STAT-Melo can definitely work. Melo can have the D focus on him and kick out. All you'd need are two good passes to get any of the 3 going. I can already see STAT talking about not minding the sacrifice of offensive possessions to win. He'd be heralded even more as the leader of that team.

Still think ATL can put the best package together with him potentially Horford/J.Smitty/Teague

I hate Celtics/Heats/Lakers more then any other teams in the A.. I'm rooting for the Bulls in the ECF. I hate them for the Jordan Era, but I respect how they rebuilt.. it took them quite a few years themselves.. at this point though, I'm rooting for the Mavs.. I want Dirk tp get his ring.. and for the past ten years Dallas has been the only WC team I banged with hard. I like the Thunder too, so all I care aboutis the West winning it all, for once..
Btw, we are not trading Stat... even if it means, we miss out on a "chip". We are gonna have to build around. I have a gut feeling CP3 is NY bound.

This is true but if you're Dwight would you really want to go there after they gave up your front court help & future pg? Are you really in a position even equal to the one you left? Can't see him agreeing to that deal... But that's just me tho.

Why? He still wants to be the #1 guy, he is clear cut that in ATL. And they might not necessarily have to give up Smith as well. IF they did they would prolly still have some cap room left to go out and grab a point guard or something. Plus he is from ATL.
As much as Joakim is my dude, I don't think he is really worth that much on a team that isn't good. IF you have good pieces, he is exceptional but if you got bums, he really isn't going to make you much better.

I agree... He's like the ultimate complimentary piece.
If they're able to keep Josh, JJ, Mally & Kirk then yea that's definitely a helluva situation considering that JJ is probably the 3rd best 2nd option to Wade & Pau... That could be extremely disgusting

Well, 'Mal is a FA this summer and I would be surprised if he came back cause I'm not sure the Hawks have that in their budget right now.

Don't know who's budget he'll be in but I'd definitely take him on the bulls for the low to shoot all the shots off the bench

I have a feeling Dwights heading west, and might be joining paul somewhere other than NO. East is getting too clogged up and theres too much competition in order to get to the finals. Whereas the west is easier, as it looks like compared to the east.

I don't think Dwight still wants to be the #1 guy or if that issue is even a dealbreaker. Especially if his short list of teams to go to involve the Lakers and Knicks.
I actually expect the Nets to overpay for Jamal. Doubt it changes DWill's mind but they need a better bench.

[h3]Knicks Targeting Hofstra's Jenkins[/h3]
May 17, 2011 10:25 AM EDT
Several NBA executives view Hoftstra’s Charles Jenkins as a mid-to-late first-round pick.
Jenkins is on the Knicks' radar at No. 17 as team president Donnie Walsh is seeking a point guard of the future for the roster because centers are in short supply.
"It would be great," Jenkins said of being taken by the Knicks. "For me having an opportunity playing in the NBA is great in itself. Whatever team I'll be excited about, but I would love the Knicks, growing up with my dad a big Knicks fan. Any time they played, it was definitely on the TV."
The Knicks will interview Jenkins at the pre-draft camp that takes place Thursday and Friday in Chicago, where he will go through a combine-style host of drills and tests for all teams.

If we could get a solid young PG like Jenkins, I think that would be great for us..Even if we lose Billups after next season and somehow get CP3, he could be a competent backup..And who knows..Maybe he ends up having a Brandon Jennings type rookie season which will allow us to use our 2012 cap space for a bench and some role players rather than a 3rd star
